Reports indicate that Vinicius Jr. is amenable to departing from Real Madrid as the transfer window nears its conclusion.
This information surfaces following claims that the number 7 was excluded from Real Madrid’s initial lineup on Sunday, alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold, as newly appointed manager Xabi Alonso establishes his authority at the Bernabeu.
Considered the third-best left winger globally according to FourFourTwo, Vinicius is reportedly evaluating his prospects as the transfer deadline approaches, subsequent to a significant choice that might prove costly for Los Blancos.
Vinicius Jr. Reportedly Considers Real Madrid Departure Due to Disagreement with Xabi Alonso
According to information obtained by The Athletic, Alonso’s choice to leave Vinicius out of the starting lineup “wasn’t received favorably” by the player, who reportedly didn’t have a chance to discuss the matter with his manager prior to the decision.
Instead, Rodrygo, a fellow countryman, took up the position on the left side, a subject of internal discussion at Valdebebas due to the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, resulting in competition between the Frenchman and both Brazilians for that particular area of the field.
According to OK Diario, Vinicius is receptive to a transfer before the conclusion of the window.
The report suggests that this is improbable due to a shortage of offers for the player and Real Madrid’s preference to retain him. However, the future appears uncertain, as Vinicius has not signaled intentions to extend his contract with the Spanish team.
Reportedly, the athlete intends to wait until January 2027, allowing him to gain a substantial loyalty bonus upon recommitting to Real, or obtain a sizable signing bonus at another club.
Expectedly, Real isn’t pleased by the prospect of potentially losing a high-profile player for free. They are purportedly dissatisfied with the player, considering his actions “unfair to the organization that has consistently protected him.”
Sources indicate to FourFourTwo that the Saudi Pro League shows considerable interest in Vinicius. However, Premier League interest is limited, considering the potential financial commitments involved in bringing him to England.
According to Transfermarkt, Vinicius Jr.’s value is approximately €170m.
